Welcome to today's news and rumors rundown. We start in Anaheim with John Gibson and why he
0:07
hasn't been traded yet. Eric Stephens of The Athletic points to the management's reluctance
0:11
to retain part of his 6.4 million dollar cap hit as a significant hurdle. However, it's not for lack
0:16
of trying as he believes GM Pat Verbeek has attempted to trade him on multiple occasions
0:20
Next we move to Philadelphia and Alexey Kolesov's future with the Flyers. Troy
0:24
Andrikanidis of Inside AHL Hockey reports that he's struggled in the AHL and despite signing
0:29
his ELC he was relegated to a backup role behind Cal Peterson. He also felt isolated due to his
0:34
limited English and being housed in a hotel. Reports indicate he might return to the KHL
0:38
in his former club Dynamo Minsk. And we end in Toronto where Alex Nylander has signed a one
0:43
year AHL contract with the Marlies. He apparently doesn't want a PTO and the Maple Leafs are simply
0:48
waiting for the hack and pass situation to sort itself out. If he can't play they might sign
0:52
Nylander to an NHL deal shortly thereafter. And that's it for this edition of the news and rumors
0:56
rundown. Stay tuned for more tomorrow
